Not Without Reservations

By

Scripture reading: St. John 14:1-6

Praise song: Jerusalem 


Meditation:

When you think about hotels, airlines, cruises, fine dining at restaurants, etc., making reservations comes to mind, right? To experience the services offered by these establishments and to be accommodated, you will need to book a reservation because, without it, you do not stand a chance. Every day calls are received from various persons requesting reservations with the desire to experience the ambiance and the services offered by these hospitality industries. Nonetheless, there is another reservation that many overlook and are not keen to book, and it is the open and available reservation with Jesus Christ. All of us can partake of and fully enjoy this service, which is offered freely to those who are willing to surrender to Him. We all need to book our reservation and accept the invitation offered by Jesus Christ so our names can be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Regrettably, if you don’t reserve and confirm your reservation with Jesus Christ to meet Him in the Holy City, New Jerusalem, you cannot enter. There are only two places to accommodate us at the end of our life journey: heaven and hell. Every individual has the right to choose, but I implore you to make the right decision. Choose Jesus Christ and don't be left behind. 

Let us pray:

My faithful Father, most Holy One, I am grateful for your word of wisdom and the reminder that based on our choices and who we obey, be it Almighty God or the devil and his cohorts, will determine where we are going to spend eternity. Father, please swing wide the gates of heaven and bid us to enter, for our desire is to be numbered among the chosen, O God. Almighty God, I am determined to follow the path that leads to eternal life, and I have already booked my reservation and need your strength and grace, Lord, to help me along life's journey. Father, I choose to follow your directives, but without your sustaining grace and mercy to keep me steadfast and unmovable, I will not make it. Almighty God, help me to live a clean and pure life, holy and acceptable in your sight. Merciful, Faithful Father, rid me of selfish and earthly desires so I can have more of you and less of me. Father, may I forever live in your presence while feasting at your table in the name of my Saviour, Jesus Christ, my deliverer. Amen.

 Keep safe. 💓

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

 Day of prayer   O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever. Psalm 118:1   Worship song: Thanks   Let us pray:      Almighty one, let your mercy prevail over us, O God, breathe upon us afresh and renew our mindset until it overflows with gratitude and thankfulness as we celebrate with appreciation your goodness, grace, and mercy. May we experience a renewed sense of hope and joy as we celebrate with a grateful heart your sacrificial offering for our redemption. Help us to rejoice not just in the blessings we receive but in the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died to redeem sinners. Draw us closer to you and prepare us to welcome you in our hearts, minds, and souls, O God. May this season of refreshing deepen our faith and fill us with the wonders of your presence, bringing us to a place where we recognize that you are our only redeemer, the only wise God, and Savior capable of breaking the chains of bo...

Purification of The Heart

By

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
